The first promotional video for Tojima Wants to Be a Kamen Rider has been released, offering a glimpse into LIDENFILMS' adaptation of the manga. The trailer highlights the series' core premise: a 40-year-old man, Tanzaburou Toujima, whose lifelong obsession with becoming Kamen Rider clashes with his mundane reality, until a criminal organization called "Fake Shocker" forces his fantasy into a dangerous confrontation.
The PV seems to lean into the surreal comedy and action promised by the synopsis. Viewers can expect a blend of the protagonist's chuunibyou-esque aspirations meeting genuine tokusatsu-style peril. LIDENFILMS, the studio behind Tokyo Revengers and Call of the Night, will handle the animation.
With a MAL score of 7.82 from over 17,000 voters, the manga has already garnered a significant following. The anime is slated for a Fall 2025 release, with 24 episodes planned.
